<a name="id-1.3.43.10.2.10.4.4"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>Reduce dimension list to cardinal form. This algorithm collapses duplicate base dimension tags and sorts the resulting list by the tag ordinal value. Dimension lists that resolve to the same dimension are guaranteed to be <br>
 represented by an identical type.</p>
<p>The argument should be an MPL forward sequence containing instances of the <code class="computeroutput">dim</code> template.</p>
<p>The result is also an MPL forward sequence. It also supports the following metafunctions to allow use as a dimension.</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="computeroutput">mpl::plus</code> is defined only on two equal dimensions and returns the argument unchanged.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="computeroutput">mpl::minus</code> is defined only for two equal dimensions and returns the argument unchanged.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="computeroutput">mpl::negate</code> will return its argument unchanged.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="computeroutput">mpl::times</code> is defined for any dimensions and adds corresponding exponents.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="computeroutput">mpl::divides</code> is defined for any dimensions and subtracts the exponents of the right had argument from the corresponding exponents of the left had argument. Missing base dimension tags are assumed to have an exponent of zero.</p></li>
